<p>I guess it is a question of how they compile their figures. For example, your D won’t get into any UC unless her admisisons score, combined GPA and UC score applied to SAT sections, places her in the top 9% of high school students in California but her current grades and SAT score make that a certainty based on the charts provided by the UCs. See [url=<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/california-residents/admissions-index/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/california-residents/admissions-index/index.html]University</a> of California - Statewide path<a href=“Before%20this%20year%20the%20deemed%20ranking%20was%20top%2012%.”>/url</a></p>
<p>Thus, if she is admitted to any UC, the UC could claim she is ranked in top 9% much less top 10% if they use those conversion tables to report rank.</p>
